- >Hieracium Pilocella (Haret Hogeurt) - similar to cannabis
-
- I happen to live in a country where this occurs naturally. I once picked
- up some leaves, dried them and tried to smoke them. The smoke was so
- diabolic that I nearly choked to death. Perhaps I should've tried an
- extraction.

- >Peganum Harmala (passionflower) - very mild marijuana-like high
-
- Wrong. Passionflower is _Passiflora incarnata_. Peganum harmala is Syrian
- rue. The seeds are generally not smoked, though they are sometimes burned
- as an incense in the Middle East. It has very little in common with marijuana
- and is definitely not mild in hallucinogenic doses. The alkaloids in the seeds
- are MAOIs, so be careful.
- After chewing ten grams of the seeds, I spent several hours lying on my
- bed and wondering whether stroke or cerebral hemorrhage comes first. I had
- not eaten anything nor drunk coffee that day. The trip was interesting, but
- the physical side effects were horrible.
